In between itty-bitty-dino chess pieces, I’ve been working on a Triceratops door knocker. It’s one of the “larger” pieces I’ve done recently, measuring in at a whopping 3 1/2 inches across! All in all this knocker is a sporty little A-cup, but a boob’s a boob it’s a Triceratops. In the previous post I discovered…

With all the praise the 2 previous chess pieces got from friends and family how could I help but make more. Frankly, I’m enjoying the unusual pace of these pieces as well. As with the previous sculpts I’m averaging about 16 hours on each one but that average is coming down, especially if I keep…

Where have you been?! I was worried. You didn’t call, I didn’t know where you were… phew. So, I’ve become an even fuller-time daddy than the full-time daddy I’d been about a month ago. It truly is a special sort of mind-suck and I couldn’t see writing you blog after blog about the Funderdome! That…

Back when I had time to kill, and babies were things only other people had, I discovered an art term that had me at “hello”: Papercraft. It’s like origami but without all the rules; you can cut, tape and glue all day long. Similar to origami, the models come in a range of difficulties of…

As a sculptor trying to keep a steady blog rolling, at times I find myself sculpting more than I can keep up with writing about and at other times I’m able to write more than I can sculpt about. Luckily, the truth about the latter (for me) is that there is an element of art…

Mwaah hahahahaa! As you may recall, there were “projects and more projects…” during this Mentally Challenging March. Did you know that I was freaky, baby? I made a tumorous-eyed-thingy lighter case for a disposable lighter. Since then, I’ve detailed it further by dry brushing red and black pastel powder sparingly… and did I mention sparingly?…

Imagine my surprise when I went to the Term Coiner’s office and discovered “March madness” was already taken. Dang it! Apparently “March madness” refers to a very basketbally time of the year. I didn’t know they even played basketball anymore, but if you’re a Sporty Spice then you’ll want to check out Alan the writer’s…

…but you wouldn’t have believed me. I’ve been in touch with an ol’ friend from almost 10 years ago which, for me, seems like another life ago. He’s a director who’s in pre-production for his next film, Haunting of the Whaley House. It’s a haunted house movie that’s… well, here’s a recent interview: I’m no…

In fact… it’s past time. My wife and I have finished up a few Solar System bracelets from the planet beads I had made. They’re being posted to Etsy now. If you like them as much as I do, I’m going to need to make some more. Learning their order, different chemical make-ups and temperatures…

I’ve been burning some cataract eyes in the oven, but it’s my own fault: I didn’t follow the recipe quite exactly enough. It all started when I was eyeing some glass doll eyes for sale on Etsy. They’re gorgeous, so lifelike and priced as such. Luckily, I discovered a tutorial online for making eyes from polymer clay…
